The fields of application for Metal Injection Moulding as an established process for the mass production of precision-moulded and highly complex small components are growing steadily. CARBOLITE GERO’s MIM Conference will focus on the whole process, highlighting best practice turnkey solutions for component manufacturers who wish to adopt MIM or AM production without encountering typical «start-up issues». In addition, the conference will spotlight challenges that experienced part manufacturers have overcome and showcase their solutions.
If you are already familiar with the MIM/AM process, you will have the opportunity to meet people with a similar background and share best practices to further optimize your own manufacturing & production process.
We look forward to exciting discussions in an environment where everyone has the chance to ask questions and to learn from industry experts.
